Got to agree, Stevie Finnan on recent performances is among the best right backs we've had in a long time. Amazing, when you consider his performances of not so long ago. On the verge of being shipped out at one stage. Does a brilliant job without fuss.

He gave Neville a lot to think about and didn't look scared to run at him despite losing out once or twice physically, as is to be expected. This time last year (if not injured) he'd look to duck the responsibility and shif it infield or backwards. generally Neville gets forward a good lot during a game. but not Saturday as he was pre-occupied with Kewell. A couple of decent chances too.

Sam beheaded? Might need to be outsourced.

Our central midfield pairings won't get it easy with Petit in there, he's a decent player. Tenacious and well able to distribute the ball.

Desperate situation asking him to put his boots back on. He's cack.

got a deal on flight and accommodation over the weekend. Paying ?300 for flight to Frankfurt, then we have to get the train 200km's down to Stuttgart. As I was booking flights were disappearing or increasing in price. Get it sorted soon.

Didi was immense in the middle on Saturday. No fuss, won it hands down. Loved the way he bought the free kick near the end outside our box.

Heard that on Newstalk last night mate.

I've since got to the bottom of the info I posted initially. The southside Dubs will know him. Pat Devlin, very well connected and he's still insisting he's been with Sheppard today. There's been a lot of interest on it over here and it looks like good money, but you never know 'til it's handed over.

I'm off away now, wasn't it worth it, even if he doesn't take the job now? ta-ra

3/1 on Ladbrokes now but O'Neill still strong favourite.

May or may not happen, but I'm telling you any mention of Ranieri doesn't have me any more fearful.

I just got him at 33's. Chap that was with me 2 minutes later wasn't able to get his money on. Feck it. Not in it, can't win it.

Will I a***! If there are some silly enough to listen to tips from someone they've never met, they deserve it. Down at 2's now. It's a cert.

I'll have that too.

is it not next to be sacked though?

Was not, well not this time anyway

Excuse me, I posted 3 tips for the nags last year and ALL 3 won. I've never posted a tip of this type before. Ever. Usual disclaimers still apply.

How do I collect these pints/beatings?

Got a call from a close friend who's put 500 quid on it. He NEVER gives out this type of information but was certain it was happening. Mate of mate blah blah. Usual disclaimers apply on all bets.

Lord knows mate, but he's supposd to be with Sheppard at the moment.

Now 7's in Ladbrokes
